Generally revise criminal procedure laws
This bill amends Montana's criminal procedure laws to require law enforcement officers to show a search warrant to a known lawful occupant of a property before conducting a search. It also mandates that officers provide a copy of the warrant and a receipt for seized property to the person from whom it was taken or leave these documents at the location. The amendment clarifies that failing to provide these documents does not make the seized property inadmissible in court. The changes apply immediately upon the bill's passage and approval.
